I love this game. It made me feel the sadness, the melancholy and the beauty of a dying world, the regret of its last inhabitants and the sad sweetness of the last beautiful things that remained. It made me feel the sense of guilt and the helpless, desperate desire of the god, and the hopeless stillness of the wait for the end, when there's nothing that can really "happen" anymore and there's all the time of the world, if you need it. It made me feel the fear and the desperation as I remained alone and the darkness engulfed me.
I'm back to this beautyfull game after a year. It's still as good as it was in my memories. But I still don't know where the last starseed is lol. Can I have some help please ?
I'm talking about the second one on the left in the inventory next to the odd starseed.
i really loved several parts of this game. the atmosphere comes through clear and strong through the visual style, music, and sound effects. there were also a few starseeds that were hidden in a way that made platforming feel satisfying.
about the platforming: at first, i was not fond of how much air control you had when jumping. holding down the sprint button while airborne allowed you to cover a greater distance. it felt a bit odd tbh. however, there comes a point where the level design really highlights this feature. early game, however, i didn't find it as impactful.
also, the objectives weren't super clear. you get to a point where the loop is more obvious once you start feeding fish to the creature in the tunnel. after that, though, i had to watch a playthrough to understand that i basically had to do the same thing for the knight.
once i completed the objectives in the first main level, i tried to finish the game. however, the game crashed after i had fallen off a platform and no data was saved. auto save would have been nice. i was so engrossed in the gameplay that i would not have noticed a manual save if it was even available.
i was not in the mood to go through the gameplay loop several more times. also, maybe it's a bug but if you create multiple different colors of fish and feed the creature in the tunnel, the creature doesn't appear to "remember" that you fed it a purple fish after a immediately feeding it a yellow one. it only seems to "remember" or "save" what you fed them after you choose to speak to them after giving a fish. but like, once i realized all i had to do was feed it fish, i just collected the rest of the starseeds, brought it all the different colors of fish, then talked to it. the game will not recognize this, however, so be warned.
was a bit lame that the creature couldn't appreciate my foresight and insisted that i repeat my actions. overall, i enjoyed my time playing. maybe one day i'll come back and replay the game and see it through to the end.
I played at this game it was so good I really enjoyed it I didn't understand the story very well but that's not a fault of the game that's just me being dumb but thank you very much for making this this was really good and I'm very sorry if you do watch my video I'm very sorry but I messed up the title of the game I'm really sorry but thank you very much for making iketsuki it was really good highly recommended for a short fun experience in the aesthetic was amazing
This one is a gem. I really liked how the lore was so ambiguous, as well as the place you were in itself. The atmosphere is so good and very unique, the dying world vibe is definitely palpable.
Great sound design too, really liked the soothing sounds of the water and the crystals.
This game is great, idk but im a sucker for vibes. And the world is just so alien and fascinating I can't help but love it. Something about it's ideas too. Please make more games like this, or just keep making games in general lol
The game crashed on me :'( while I was trying to feed the pink starseed to the fish. Disappointing cause I was really engaged. Short enough that I'll prolly go back through, just not right now. The first part, before getting the multi-jump upgrade, has honestly been the most challenging part. Surprisingly enjoyable. Lots of little quirks about the design that I enjoy.
Really enjoyed this one, it was pretty relaxing but had just enough happening to keep the interest going. Had a unique vibe compared to other walking sim games I've played and had cool dialogue. Glad I checked it out for a video (:
50% of the time spent in this game is mostly creating, feeding and delivering the fish which isn't very interesting but the visual experience and overall ambience pays off! good game!
This game really managed to make me think really hard with its ending. Even after finishing it I’m still left with more questions than answers, and that’s a good thing.
I need answers. What do you do with the second odd star? It changes the fishs proportions. And what then? I feel like I've tried everything many times. I need to know if there is a secret ending.
It was a really fun platformer, especially the floatiness of the jumps feel surprisingly fitting to the game's world. I think it could use more of a game ending well... ending as I did everything but I still ran around looking for what I still can do only to find out that I finished the game already :)

i would 100% recommend giving this game a try!

FISHIES
This game was great, super cool atmosphere throughout (especially the sound design) and the platforming mechanics worked well

Have you ever thought to bring Iketsuki to the Wii as homebrew?
there a way we can save parts of the game so when we quit out of it we dont start over?
Sorry, there is no way to save! It's meant to be played through in one sitting.
this game really brought back a lot of memories i wish there was more non horror PS1 style games like this.
